Sounds like Burlingame & San Mateo - San Francisco Bay Area

Ah I see your edit now, thanks (and see how it was assumed implied :) )

iOS lets you create “secret chats”

How? Not natively unless I’m mistaken

In 2019, The North Face faced consumer backlash and apologized after its marketing agency surreptitiously added photos featuring its apparel to Wikipedia articles on popular outdoor destinations.

Edit: they also sent a cease & desist to The South Butt a decade before that

I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?

“Hi I wasn’t paid six dollars on Fiverr to post here” (does increase costs obviously but marginally for high-margin/volume products)

Has anyone tried the enhanced dialogue feature on a 2021 Apple TV?

Thank you. Been thinking about this.

Is there a [soap] product that you use or would use with a dishwasher, or at least a guideline or purchasing process you’d follow?

Healthiest way to do it

Also it’s a microcosm of a more serious thing! :D 59 seconds

Right here at 7:27

“GCN” video from a couple months ago showing their bait bike being stolen^. They cut through a UL lock in 36 seconds but unfortunately didn’t test one of the few-hundred-dollar angle-grinder-resistant locks.

Ahahaha that’s great

Didn’t watch but hope to!

Fantastic.

Season two episode eight is how to do the dishes! Edit: it was their series finale :)

Very very tempting

I was right about dishwasher pods, and now I can prove it — Technology Connections (Nov 4, 2025), ~2.6M views

Now I wanna become the hand dishwashing expert!

• Scrub every inch and cranny real good with soapy water

• Even try to leave the soap on for 30 seconds if I can wash other stuff in the meantime

• Rinse very thoroughly so nary a hint of a sud remains

Prioritize dishwasher for everything that won’t be damaged

Some may find it fun to nerd out, get a Bluetooth temp sensor, track a handful of places in fridge & freezer to figure it out 🙂

Also good for ongoing alerts of temp escalations (beyond the usual, since refrigerators make themselves really cold until they warm up a bit and make themselves cold again).

Ahahahahaha one of the best I’ve seen thanks

Ah, Down Cemetery Road - maybe you saw Slow Horses from the same author’s mind?

Both mentioned in this Mirror article (known for top journalism, OK maybe not but entertainment pieces could be all right)

There are at least a dozen countries around the world where less than half of residents would be able to read your post no matter what language it was translated into. Which is to say basic literacy, [which should be] a human right, is apparently a privilege in today’s world.

Then what you’re talking about goes beyond that to a strong command of the language—definitely an awesome power :) we are lucky to be able to do this. (usually, for me, and there’s usually some technological/social bridge for exceptions)
